Wisdom for everyday living

[jkalyna]

Aw man! no one's gonna want to read this it's freaking huge!!!

I READ IT. EVERYONE HAS A PLACE. YOURS IS DOING WHAT YOUR CALLED TO DO. I FOUND BROTHERS AND SISTERS IN THE BIBLE STUDY ROOMS, THAT ARE PRECIOUS. THE THING THAT YOU ARE RIGHT IS THAT KNOWLEDGE THE BIBLE SAYS, PUFFETH UP. YOUR CORRECTLY RIGHT WHEN YOU SAY WE ARE TO BE LIKE LITTLE CHILDREN, AND IT SAYS, UNLESS YE BECOME AS LITTLE CHILDREN YE WILL IN WISE ENTER THE KINGDOM OF GOD. THE THING HERE IS THE LITTLE CHILDREN ALWAYS FIGHT, BEING IMMATURE, AND SELFISH. WE GROW UP IN THE WORD. I THINK THE LORD MEANS AT FIRST WE NEED TO BECOME AS LITTLE CHILDREN TRUSTING, AND TOTALLY DEPENDENT ON HIM. THEN WE NEED TO GROW, AND MATURE, AS IT SAYS, WE FIRST USE MILK THEN MEAT. PRAY FOR THE REPENTANCE OF THE REBELLIOUS ONES. THE REBELLION IS GOING AGAINST THE WORDS OF THE LORD. WE ARE NOT TO BELITTLE, AND PUT DOWN ANOTHER, WE ARE TO CONSTRUCT EACH OTHER, BUILD EACH OTHER UP, NOT DESTRUCT, WITH UNHOLY UNCLEAN WORDS OF CRITICISM. I AGREE WITH YOU, AT YOUR YOUNG AGE, YOU ARE WISE. IN A BASKET OF APPLES, ONE BAG APPLE SPOILS THE BUNCH. THE LORD KNOWS HOW TO HANDLE REBELLION. REMEMBER HE CONQUERED PRIDE, IN THE HEAVENS. TY FOR SHARING. HUGS.

for those who read the encouragement thread do you remember the lesson of the ant? well here is another lesson from one of god's creations. It is a simple tree. Like a tree begining to sprout our relationship with god is the same. once we make our roots our faiith and closeness with god begins to grow as we read the bible, pray to god and obey his teachings. but if that tree doesn't get water and sunlight it withers away. the same is with our faith, not the water and sunlight but if we start to stop talking to god and reading his word and stop obeying his teachings we feel further and further apart from him. The sad part is it's very easy to start losing our desire for god, we easily get distracted by our daily lives. I am guilty of this and after a while i desperately want him back. That is because our soul knows how we need god and after a while we feel guilty because we have left god behind, our soul craves him not just us christians but everyone in the world. But people just try to satisfy that craving with other things, but of course nothing works. This is a very common teaching but we as humans never seem to learn this lesson do we? I once asked my chistian friend: if the devil knows how powerful god is why does he keep going against him, is he a moron? He replied with this; well the same reason we all go against him. I felt really stupid because everyday i go against god by ignoring the holy spirit telling me not to do this or that and yet i want that sugar so bad i just do it anyways. I don't really do that particuler thing every day but we all go against god everyday. ouch... so do we freak out? do we get depressed? no all god asks of us is to pray for his help and try

THAT'S ALL WE CAN DO IS START ALL OVER AGAIN. HIS MERCIES ARE NEW EVERY MORNING. ONE DAY YOU MIGHT BE THE BIBLE LEADER OR TEACHER IN THE BIBLE ROOM, IF NOT, YOUR USED BY GOD RIGHT HERE. GOD BLESS YOU, PLEASE DON'T TOUCH THE POP TARTS.HUG

I thought i could share this info with everyone, people ask sometimes how to tell if god speaks to us. This is an interesting question because as simple as the answer is it is not always easy to understand. God speaks to us all the time, through music or a picture even nature. I have found god speaks to me all the time through music but every now and then there is someone here on cc that says something and i can tell god is speaking to me. If you think god is speaking to you even just a little then he probably is. start listening to music and see if something pops up that makes you think he is speaking to you. Or maybe just look around and see if something pops up in your head. The more you practice the easier it gets, he doesn't say negative things and sometimes he speaks by putting a mental image in your head. this is especaily a useful skill when things are going bad, he will probably tell you to be strong or something.

GRACE WILLIAMS MUSIC, IS SOAKING MUSIC, EVER HEARD IT. UTUBE. GOD BLESS YOU. PLEASE NO POP TARTS.

I have some amazing advice that I am going to start doing, First there are two lessons to teach but the first lesson is this- how to make everyday a wonderful day. what makes your day a good or bad day? your problems? Blessings? no it's just you, we decide if we have a good or bad day. do you wake up in the morning and say( I gotta go to work...) you should instead say( I GET to go to work because god has blessed me with a job) If you lost that job and went for months without one just barely having enough money for food you would miss that job wouldnt you?the same with taxes, you say well i gotta go pay my taxes no you GET to pay you taxes because you make money and others don't. every day we all do this, we complain about something we have until it's gone and we really miss it. I once was complaining about how slow my computer was but when i wasnt able to get on it for a while I really missed it. Being happy isnt about what we have or going to have, it's a choice. We can wake up in the morning and right then we have a decision to make, we can make it a good day or a bad day. even in trafic we say and complain how bad it is but we should be greatful just to have a car.

Now for lesson two this is a secret i have found and then read about, also the last post was also something i read so i take no credit. There are so many days were things just dont go right, and for me spiritual dryness. But i was working at my grampas and I was in a spiritual dryness listening to christian music. I began so sing, idk why but i did. as i sang i felt the spirit of Jesus fill me up and i sang praise even louder. I admit i didnt feel like singing, It was very hard at first but it became the best decision i made all day. Theren is a reason the bible calls this sacrificial praise, because god knew it would be hard in tough days but he stands ready to turn it around for those who do it anyways. Also you may not even need to sing just thank god for all you have. for the good days you had together, for the good days you will have together. it's not possible for sadness and that heavy feeling to stay inside you if you do these things, I only wish i had found this out sooner.

I AGREE. I BLESS EVERYTHING IN MY HOME. EVEN THE AIR. AND I TALK TO THE APPLIANCES AND TELL THEM NOT TO BREAK. IT WORKS FOR ME. PEOPLE TALK TO PLANTS, THEY SAY THEY LOVE SOME, AND THEY FLOURIS, THE ONES THEY DON'T SAY ANYTHING TO THEY WILT. WORDS ARE ENERGY, AND CREATE AN ATMOSPHERE. YES BEING THANKFULL IS SAYING A LOT FROM THE HEART. GOD IS GOOD.

Some more words of wisdom for everyone yay! actually i found this one very sekepticle until I tried it. you see there were some scientest's who decided to have some people do some facial expressions because they had a theory that your facial expression has a lot to do with your attitude. each of them had a bad day and felt like crap. one was told to make a worry face, one for and angry face and one for just a bright smile. they were to keep those facial expressions on for a while. finally they were all asked how they felt. each of them felt like crap before remember? the ones with the negitive facial ecpressions had become worried and upset but the one with the bright smile said he felt fantastic. the scientests asked him how come and his reply was this(well at first my smile felt fake and was hard to keep on but soon I felt happier and happier, like my worries had gone away. people who normally stay away from me and who are rude to me were suddenly attracted to me and were so much nicer!) I decided to try this as it seemed to good to be true when in fact it actually works! I read about this one person who had cancer but he always had a smile on and always found a reason to be happy. this is exactly how i was when i had cancer and he was cure from his cancer. he should have died many times but he didnt( also exactly like me) I know that all i did when i had cancer was look at the bright side, the rest was the docters and god. people will sometimes tell me how strong i was and that they couldn't have gone through what i did but i am not strong and they could have done it too. It isn't what hapens to us that decides our lives it's how we handle it. so here is some homework for everyone. put a bright smile on you face for the next few days and be nice and kind no matter how fake or hard it is. trust me people will be suspicious and think you are up to something but they will be more attracted to you and nicer. this one pastor was at the mall and tried this- the clerk was very nice to him and cut the price of his stuff in half!

Yeshua taught this, but man has not heard it.
Praise YHWH for his little revelations. Now you can try this against his word and have your second witness:

"Moreover when ye fast, be not, as the hypocrites, of a sad countenance: for they disfigure their faces, that they may appear unto men to fast. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward. (sadness!) 17But thou, when thou fastest, anoint thine head, and wash thy face; 18That thou appear not unto men to fast, but unto thy Father which is in secret: and thy Father, which seeth in secret, shall reward thee openly. (joy!)"

LOL i just remembered the pastor who wrote in the book i am reading about what we have just learned his mom told him even as an tiny baby he was always smiling and she said for the longest time she thought he was up to something but finally decided it was just his nature. Like i said people will be suspicious of your smiles all the time. and i was just going on a walk when i remembered a song where this man was excited for when he is in heaven he will be just like Jesus, see like he does, care like he does. always in his presence basicly anything you think you can have in heaven. But I thought to myself what if people just realized that we don't have to die and go to heaven for all these things. Remember the scripture I can do all things in christ? I was at the lights for the cars where you push the button to cross and i just couldn't stop smiling as I thought of all of this. I also couldn't help but feel people in their cars asking themselves( what is he so happy about? he is just a kid and doesnt understand the stress in life) But i do know i just don't live like that, and they can have it too if they would just open their eyes. i thanked god today for making my early life so horrible to where i cannot be like everyone else no matter how hard i tried. I was a little scared to say this to god but i said i noticed how I am so much closer to Jesus than some christians who have been in faith for three years. I asked him how is this? idk if this was me or god but a reply imediantly answered( Because i spend so much time with god and some choose to worry and be distracted by life's problems) I thanked him for letting be so weak in some areas to where i cant do anything others can like getting a job or something to make me so strong in others like my love for god.

well i may be losing a friend soon. he doesn't want me to get too serious in my faith. he said he had a friend who dropped everything to follow his faith. and he doesn't want me to do that, the problem is that is exactly what is going to happen one day. my level of faith is weirding him out and i am afraid he will want nothing to do with me eventually, so i guess i will see if he is a true friend. but Jesus said this kind of thing would happen and i am prepared for it.

today's words of wisdom I found really speaks to me- The bible is your way to succeed;Acts 26;16 17-18 Stand up! I have chosen you to be my servant and my witness- you will tell people the things you have seen and the things i will show you. This is why i have come to you today. I am sending you to them to open their eyes so they may turn away from darkness to the light, away from the power of satan and to god. then their sins can be forgiven, and they can have a place with those people who have been made holy by beleiving in me. now as many of you know i have spoken many times of the dreams god sent me and i got a message from god he is going to send me another, And i hope my words would turn people from darkness to light but it is all in god's hands. another piece of scripture states What to do when you need money- Philippians4:12-13 I know how to live when I am poor, and i know how to live when I have plenty. I have learned the secret of being happy at any time in everything that happens, when i have enough to eat and when i go hungry, when i have more than enough and when i do not have enough. I can do all things through christ, because he gives me stregnth. whenever you need money sometimes you do not recieve it because god is waiting for you to ask, being rich has nothing to do with money it's a state of mind. Almost every person i have met has wanted to be rich so they can have ( The good life) But as scripture clearly says to be able to live happy in all situations is truly being rich. Many rich people with money have what everyone calls the good life but many of them are unhappy and they cannot figure out why. Money is not what brings happyness But giving it away does.

Today is some wisdom from my favorite book called god's promises for everyday living. What to do when you are in doubt of yourself: happy are those who do right, who do what is fair at all times.Psalms106;3Proverbs3:5-6 Trust the lord with all your heart,and do not depend on you own understanding. Remember the lord in all you do and he will bring you success. I read this once and decided to try it. So my sisiter wanted to borrow a game but i really didn't want to give it to her, i thought to myself( I let her borrow everything she asks fo rbecause of what Jesus said in the bbile about always be willing to give when asked and she does this so much. But i remembered also( remeber the lord inall you do and he will bring you success) at this pointi had a burning feeling inside me because i didnt want to share But i asked jesus what would you do in this situation? and i suddenly imagine what jesus would do and he would have gladly given her the game. As soon as i gave it to her the burning feeling went away, I beleive using this tactic may make anger or negitive emotions go away eventually if we in every situation no mmatter how small remember god in everything we do- to ask jesus what he would do in this situation and he will answer and will always make something good come out of you decided to obey him.

This is very important, I have an important lesson for all of us to learn. I will begin by telling a story of a rich man and his son. This man took his son to see how the poor people lived and to show him how good he had it. when they got home he asked his son what he thoought his son replied like this- well dad we have a giant pool in the middle of our Back yard and they have an endless stream to play in, we have fancy lamps and they have the stars they spend every waking hour together and we tend to ourselves. His dad shook his head sadly because he knew his plan had backfired, his son then said dad thank you for showing me how poor we are. I am sure most people here want to earn more money, to give their family a better life to be rich even so you can always be secure. But if you obtian all of this but a poor family who lives in a barn enjoys spending time with each other and are truly grateful for even the tinyest blessing who really has it made here? Do you want to know a secret? always- not sometimes but always you spouce, your children, your family really what they need most is to have family time as often as possible. some kids stay way from family and will despise you for trying to help Them others just want more things and then there are some who just want to be together as a family. My sisters always want more things and our family is a little broken up. I miss more than anything eating together as a family, watching movies every friday night as a family with extra butterey popcorn. having game nights together as a family. have you ever seen grown ups the movie? The rich kids and all the spoiled kids just wanted to go home and play video games but after spending time with family and just playing outside that's all they wanted to do. Take your family on a vacation, it doesnt even have to cost anything, or at least not much. Go camping and tell ghost stories, go fishing togeher make memories together. Often times it's not how expensive or fancy a vacation is that makes it fun it's being together as a family that makes truly happy times

GOD always makes his wisdom available to us human wisdom will fail [situation] GODS WISDOM called the readers of proverbs to make right choices rather then wicked ones
fear of the lord is the foundation of wisdom; knowledge of the holy one results in good judgement [proverbs 9:1o]

I am excited to post these new words of wisdom Jesus is your Lord; So God raised him to the highest place. God made his name greater than every other name so that every knee will bow to the name of jesus-everyone in heaven,on earth. And everyone will confess that Jesus christ is lord and bring glory to God the father.Philippians2;9-11. whatever goes on in your day today good or bad remember God in it all, He remembers all the promises he has made for us and has not forgotten our efforts. And Because Jesus is lord over all-the living and the dead, heaven and earth, Any situation that seems hopeless If we cry out to him for help he will save us. I have seen many people in the prayer forums needing prayers for horrible situations, Calling out for god's help will always turn out good. I am not saying he will give us what we ask for all the time but even if the healing doesnt come if we trust him he will give us something beautiful. Today we must give Jesus control, and give praise to him for all things. Just let go and say to him- Lord i know no matter what i do i cannot control the outcome of today, so i give you control today knowing whatever happens is part of your plan. And i will give you the praise you so richly deserve, and i will thank you for shining your light on my seemingly hopeless day.

I was just reading about a man who played basket ball with the author of the book i am reading- he is a pastor. he stopped playing because he couldn't see right and went to the doctor. The doctor said he had eye cancer! he went to get surger sulking and no joy in his bones, when the doctors found it wasn't cancer just an unusual fungus behind his eye that was affectin his eye sight and removed it. when he was told his eye sight would be normal again he learned one of the valuable lessons you can learn. Every morning when he woke up he would purposly look all around, he would stare at his kids and wife he would take in everything he could see because he was so grateful just to see. Think about it, we complain about things others would kill to have. Like kid's sure they can be very wild and frustraiting but there are people who would love to be cleaning after kid's. they would go through painful and expensive surgery just to have them. Do you complain about having to walk far? think of a man in a wheel chair and then see if you are not grateful. people in wheel chairs complain sometime about not walking but can you see? that is a wonderful gift to have. Plus for many idk how but being stuck in a wheel chair not being able to walk will do two things, it will make them become sour and negitive or teaches them many life lessons like humility and bellieve it or not wisdom. This really made me look at the things i have, i have working arms, I have eyes that can see, i can walk, i have a computer and t.v. I have friends and family, I can breath and i am alive! I can make a giant list of all the things i am blessed with and a very short list of things i am not blessed with. We must always give thanks to god, and for hard times we thank him then to. Not for the trials and hardship but thank him that he is going to save us from it and make us better and stronger for it.
